Samsung has said that it will be unveiling the Galaxy S4 on March 14. The company will be sending out invitations to a “Samsung Unpacked” event in New York where the phone is set to debut.

Samsung will be holding a special launch event next month for the latest Galaxy smartphone.

After the huge success of the previous Galaxy phones, there is much anticipation surrounding the next in the series.

The Galaxy S3 has proved itself to be a true rival to the iPhone and even saw sales increase after the launch of the iPhone 5.

Samsung’s announcement has overshadowed many of the others at Mobile World Congress, while this used to be a major event it has become less relevant in recent years as companies have been running independent launches.

For instance, last week HTC launched its One smartphone at a global event in London and New York.

There are a number of rumours about the Galaxy S4. There are reports that it will contain an eight-core Exynos processor, a separate eight-core graphics processor, a 4.99-inch SuperAmoled display, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera with 1080p video capability and a 2-megapixel front camera. It is thought that the phone will run the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean.
